G3 Slideshow

highsierra · Jun 1, 2024

A pet project of mine over the years has been to collect photos of bucks harvested in California’s late season Goodale (G3) hunt. After a few recent additions I thought it might be nice to put together a simple slide show presentation of the hunters and their bucks. I believe all the photos showcased are from the last 20 years.

If any of you out there have photos of G3 bucks taken in the past that are not already included here, I would love to see them…especially any from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s. If you are willing to share, please post what you got in the comments below.

Some big boys in there. Thanks for putting that together and posting.

Nice! glad to see my wife made the slide show!!

My brother and 3 other friends drew as a group in the 1980's first year they heard about it, had no idea of what they had drawn, first buck for my brother and one of the others, 2nd for one of them, they all shot the first 3 points they saw, (3 point min. back then) if they only knew what they had!! A different one of our group drew in in 1996, he knew better what he had drawn, he killed one opening day, it was a 28" 4x, my brother shot a 28" fork with a small 3rd, and 4th on one side, it looked like an old buck in decline. If they could all have those days back now I wonder what they would have done??

Great montage..some really good bucks from the unit. Reminds me of the little black photo binder my dad has of the old days in X-1 when our family hunted as a group (that was more than 20 years ago) although they didn’t take any real monsters, they had multiple bucks in pics that resembled some of the deer in that video.

Updated version with some new additions:

Moe · Jun 2, 2024

Well done.

Snoopdogg · Jun 2, 2024

I've got some pictures that would be fine additions to your compilation, but I won't share them because they hunters don't want them shared.

I have not hunted G3 and probably never will (I think I have to apply for G3 in order to have a chance...

) but I've helped on a couple of hunts in 3 separate years.

A good friend and his 2 sons killed very fine buckeroos about 20 years ago and I've seen a couple of nice ones killed in those hunts.

Not being a max point holder--no chance I'd put in.

If you could slow it down just a tad it would be nice

Yeah… I’m not super happy with the speed either. I’ve got five or six more bucks I need to add to the slideshow. When I redo it I’ll make sure I take more time to get the transitions right.

How cool is that!!!!!
My son and I at the 1min mark. Kid drew the tag at 14yo with zero points. The luck.

Ridgewalker · Jun 3, 2024

Thank you for putting that together. Awesome! There’s a buck in there that I photographed Jan 1999, the hunter killed it that next season. 29 inch 3by4. Pretty cool.

Ridgewalker · Jun 3, 2024

Here he is..

Outstanding! I hope other past hunters will contribute to this collection. What a great idea.

Wiszard · Jun 4, 2024

That is a really cool video, Dave. It'll be neat to see that video get longer and longer as the years go if you can keep up with it. I am hoping to draw one of the random tags over the next couple of years to add to the collection of photos. Pray for me!!

I think I have about five or six more to add already!

No 2 year old forked-horns.

How about 3x3's?

Why wait?

BradA · Jun 5, 2024

That’s was cool thanks for sharing it. I recognize a lot of the bucks and people.

highsierra · Jun 5, 2024

Just did another update. I added more photos and some music!

Snoopdogg · Jun 5, 2024

Nice update. Can you imagine all the G3 bucks since it's inception, including during it's heyday? That would be quite a collection.

I saw 4 hunters/bucks in your video that I'm familiar with.

LIK2HNT · Jun 6, 2024

@highsierra you made the CA fish and game email they sent out today.

Wiszard · Jun 6, 2024

I saw that this am....Congrats Dave.

On a more sarcastic note, I passed on that deer.....glad someone was able to put their tag on him and take those sh!tty genes out of the pool.
